Gratuity

In 2022, I made over 1200 introductions. I build communities. I have organized business resource groups.

Now and then people will come to me and say “thank you so much for what you did for me!”

And I’ll say “What did I do?”

They’ll tell me that an introduction led to another introduction led to an opportunity led to another opportunity.

If I have not served you in this way, come hang out with me, and let’s see how I can serve you.

I’m pretty good at creating value. I’m not so good at getting paid for it, and the reason for that is that I’m not comfortable selling promises.

But here’s the thing. I’ve got bills to pay. I’ve got a family to take care of, and, while I love taking care of my community, taking care of my family comes first. If I’m going to continue to do what I’m doing, I need to get paid for it. That Honda Civic payment doesn’t pay itself.

People pay every day for programs that create no value for them, and I never want money from someone I haven’t provided value to. But if I have provided value to you, whether you feel it’s worth $1 or $10,000, this is the way to do it. Here’s a virtual tip jar to use.

It has been my honor to serve you, and I thank you for your support.

In case you are wondering what amount would be appropriate, 5-10% of revenue generated is a good benchmark. Another benchmark is that my Connection Concierge program is $1000 per month. I will be grateful for any amount you feel is appropriate.
